BurnMan

A thermodynamic and geophysics toolkit for the Earth and planetary sciences

BurnMan is an open source mineral physics toolbox written in Python to
generate physical properties for the Earth and other planets. At its simplest, BurnMan calculates
the isotropic thermoelastic moduli by solving the equations-of-state for a
mixture of minerals defined by the user. The user may select from a list of
minerals applicable included or easily
define one of their own.
